3169 at Whitehead, 15.5.2012 (1)

15-ton crane built in 1912 to works no 3169 for the Great Northern Railway (Ireland). It moved to the Railway Preservation Society of Ireland's depot at Whitehead in 1980, where it remains.

This is the only CS 15-ton crane extant in the UK & Ireland and It is owned by a BDCA member so should be in good hands!
